Day 1 Of Public Impeachment Hearings Sheds New Light On Trump’s Personal Ukraine Agenda
Wednesday’s televised testimony from William Taylor, acting ambassador to Ukraine, revealed new details about President Trump’s efforts to pressure that country to undertake investigations beneficial to him. Among other things, Taylor said his aide was told that Trump reportedly cared more about the investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden than other matters in Ukraine.
To discuss, Jim Braude was joined by former U.S. Attorney Donald Stern, who was appointed by President Bill Clinton, and former U.S. Attorney Michael Sullivan, who was appointed by George W. Bush.
What Really Happened To Jimmy Hoffa?
Famed Teamster Union President Jimmy Hoffa, who had known ties to organized crime, vanished in 1975 and was later presumed dead, but the details of how and when he died remain a mystery. While no one was ever ultimately charged, the FBI did have a few suspects — most notably Hoffa's closest confidant, Charles "Chuckie" O'Brien. Now, O'Brien’s stepson, Jack Goldsmith, argues the intelligence agency had it all wrong in his new book, "In Hoffa's Shadow: A Stepfather, a Disappearance in Detroit, and My Search for the Truth." Goldsmith is also a Harvard law professor, former top lawyer at the Office of Legal Counsel and a former assistant attorney general in the George W. Bush Administration.
